Remote procedure call. In distributed computing, a remote procedure call ( RPC) is when a computer program causes a procedure (subroutine) to execute in a different address space (commonly on another computer on a shared computer network ), which is written as if it were a normal (local) procedure call, without the programmer explicitly writing ...
In networking equipment configuration, a term-of-art distinction is often drawn: The term protocol strictly refers to the transport layer, and the term service refers to protocols utilizing a protocol for transport. In the common case of TCP and UDP, services are distinguished by port numbers.
Simple Network Management Protocol ( SNMP) is an Internet Standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior. Devices that typically support SNMP include cable modems, routers, network switches, servers, workstations, printers, and more.
Transport layer (4) RFC (s) RFC 9293. The Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP) is one of the main protocols of the Internet protocol suite. It originated in the initial network implementation in which it complemented the Internet Protocol (IP). Therefore, the entire suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP. TCP provides reliable, ordered, and ...
Telnet. Telnet (short for "teletype network") [ 1][ 2] is a client/server application protocol that provides access to virtual terminals of remote systems on local area networks or the Internet. [ 3] It is a protocol for bidirectional 8-bit communications. Its main goal was to connect terminal devices and terminal-oriented processes.
A grid computing system that connects many personal computers over the Internet via inter-process network communication. In computer science, inter-process communication ( IPC ), also spelled interprocess communication, are the mechanisms provided by an operating system for processes to manage shared data. Typically, applications can use IPC ...
Time-Sensitive Networking ( TSN) is a set of standards under development by the Time-Sensitive Networking task group of the IEEE 802.1 working group. [ 1] The TSN task group was formed in November 2012 by renaming the existing Audio Video Bridging Task Group [ 2] and continuing its work. The name changed as a result of the extension of the ...
Protocol stack of the OSI model. The protocol stack or network stack is an implementation of a computer networking protocol suite or protocol family.Some of these terms are used interchangeably but strictly speaking, the suite is the definition of the communication protocols, and the stack is the software implementation of them.
